What happens if I delete my data?

Once you delete data collected by any of Hotjar’s tools (Heatmaps, Recordings, Polls, etc.), Hotjar starts an automated deletion process. This takes up to 30 days in total, and all data is hard deleted. As soon as you opt to delete the data, the process starts and the data is not retrievable.

What happens if I delete my account?

This process takes up to 30 days to complete.

Do you have backups of my data?

After a completed cycle of the deletion process described above, all backups will have no trace of your Data, Site, Organization or Account information.
